Summary
Exciters provide field current to generators
AVR regulates the generator voltage
Static exciters are fast responsive
Rotating exciters are slow responsive
+ RCC is to compensate transformer drop
- RCC is used when multiple generators
connected to the same bus (droop)
OEL, HXL, OVL limits the high field current
UEL (MEL) limits the low field current
